  • Comments: This was my first HIM, and I am pleased with the outcome. I really enjoyed the race. The volunteer's rocked and they were everywhere to be seen. I will definately do the race again next year and look at dropping my time considerably. The bike course was really nice, the run course is the only reason I did not give the rating a 5 as it was just a boring and unforgiving route. Well organized race.

  • Comments: This was the fourth year of Ironstar, and the race organizers have it down pat. Great venue, perfect weather today, events started all of three minutes late. Plenty of volunteers, every intersection on the bike course was well-manned and well-managed. USAT officials were out in force, even had one give me a thumbs up when I fell back after being overtaken. Bottle exchanges were well-staffed (Yeah, Boy Scouts!) and efficient, as were the water stations on the run. All of them had water, Gatorade Endurance, Hammer Gels, Endurolytes, and enthusiatic volunteers. Thanks to all of you! For a non-qualifier, independent race, I thought this was a great event. Can't see how a branded 70.3 could be run any better.

  • Comments: Today was good race for me overall. Even though I didn't make my time goal, the potential to have done it was basically there. In all three elements I did better in the second half than I did in the first half and was able to finish each one strong. The key to success next time, will be doing equally well during the first parts of each element. This race and venue has a good reputation and you feel like you've really accomplished something significant.
